[Today finds Fabiola perched somewhere high, and taking a well-deserved day off from her usual activities. She raises the hand holding a thermos- coffee, because she considers herself too mature a girl for something like hot chocolate- to the camera, and then takes a sip of her coffee, preparing herself to speak. She's not as long-winded as usual today, though perhaps it's for the best, considering what she wants to ask.]

I know a lot of people have left lately, and I know some of those here are better at handling it than others. So in the interest of helping those that do not take it as well as others...

[She shifts idly, peering over her hands at the ground below and scooting backward just a little.]

How do you make yourselves feel better, Death City? What do you do in order to keep pushing forward?

[Her eyes flicker from the dogs to him, brows rising a little. But she shrugs and half-smiles.]

You have not yet made many friends here, have you?

Made quite a lot, most of them already disappeared. [He pets the white dog] I had a couple of people from my original world as well...

And you do not miss them at all?

[That's... kind of awful...]

Re: video

[raisedbydogs]

I didn't say I didn't miss them, I just said that as long as I have my dogs I'll manage.

[Not that he is fully admitting that he is missing them.]

I suppose that is better than nothing, but...

[Something about it just seems kind of... lonely to her.]

Better than nothing? Dogs are much better pals than humans. [He says this in matter a fact way, since it's what he believes in] I lived with dogs all my life, never felt I missed anything.

That explains it. It is natural to you then, to be more attached to them than to people. But for those of us who have not lived like that, it seems a very lonely existence.
